Trump has continued to ignore skyrocketing costs and, now, has hit American families with a new round of tariff taxes.\n\n\u201cAmericans are tired of paying for Trump\u2019s tariff war,\u201d said Bennet. \u201cAs costs continue to rise, the Trump administration has doubled down on making everyday goods more expensive while insisting that the economy has never been better. Democrats refuse to play along with this alternate reality; that\u2019s why I\u2019m joining my Senate colleagues to introduce legislation that blocks Trump\u2019s tariffs and refunds the money back to Coloradans.\u201d\n\n\u201cTrump\u2019s erratic and senseless trade war is nothing short of economic arson \u2014 no business can plan around Trump\u2019s unpredictable tariffs, American credibility is shot, and costs are up,\u201d said Murray. \u201cWhile Republicans are enabling Trump\u2019s economic sabotage, Democrats are fighting to put an end to these reckless tariffs. That\u2019s why we\u2019re introducing this legislation to block and refund Trump\u2019s tariffs so we can focus on growing the economy for everyone and making life affordable again.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhile inflation rages, families struggle to pay their bills, and small businesses close, Trump \u2013 detached from reality \u2013 continues his bluster on the global stage, doubling down on a chaotic trade war that has meant only pain for American families, farmers, and manufacturers,\u201d said Leader Schumer. \u201cRepublicans won\u2019t stand up to Trump\u2019s nonsense and Americans are crying out for relief. That\u2019s why I am introducing legislation that would end Trump\u2019s costly tariff taxes.\u201d\n\nSince Trump started his latest trade war, American families have paid the price. In just one year, Trump\u2019s tariff tax cost the average family nearly $2,000, with hardworking Americans bearing 96 percent of the cost of the hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs. Still, Trump has been undeterred by the chaos and pain his trade war has wrought and continues to double down on the global stage.\n\nThe End Trump\u2019s Tariff Tax Act would revoke and refund Trump\u2019s latest barrage of tariffs and repeal the archaic authorities he has used to continue his trade war. This legislation would apply to Trump\u2019s newest global tariffs of 12.5 percent and 50 percent tariffs on Canada.\n\nIn February, Bennet released legislation requiring full refunds of President Trump\u2019s illegal tariffs after the U.S. Supreme Court struck them down. In May 2025, Bennet introduced the Tariff Transparency Act, legislation that would require the independent, bipartisan U.S. International Trade Commission to issue a report on the economic effects of recent and proposed tariffs. In January 2025, Bennet wrote to members of the Trump administration calling for a comprehensive approach to international economic policy that goes beyond tariffs.\n\nIn addition to Bennet, Murray, and Schumer, U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Angus King (Maine), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) cosponsored this legislation.\n\nThe text of the bill is available HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-26T09:43:57Z", "2026-09-26T09:44:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.bennet.senate.gov/2026/09/25/bennet-murray-schumer-colleagues-introduce-legislation-to-end-trumps-trade-war-with-canada-lower-costs/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.2542208209633827, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
